Cheap ($0.10/1000 emails) + good deliverability = Amazon SES.

If you are looking for just the visual email template builder part, check out EmailBuilder.js (https://github.com/usewaypoint/email-builder-js) - it's a free and open-source builder that also has a hosted playground.

I think they've simply continued going up market and care less about smaller players.

If you are looking for transactional emails with a tightly integrated template builder, check out Waypoint. We're an alternative and have some different approaches: https://www.usewaypoint.com/compare/sendgrid-email-api-alter...

Be sure to check out Waypoint (usewaypoint.com). It's an email API with a tightly integrated template builder and has idempotent requests (https://www.usewaypoint.com/docs/idempotent-requests).

I've done high quality large prints from https://www.bayphoto.com/. They did a great job and have different archival paper to choose from. Got the print from there and used a local framing shop to get it professionally framed.

Looks like there are career development questions in the section below the manager questions. https://github.com/VGraupera/1on1-questions#career-developme...

+1. Just to provide another data point, I checked out the site and peaked around looking for a list of features/screenshots. Couldn't find any and left. Came back to HN and realized others were saying the same thing.

That's true. However, for better or worse, FB knows a lot about me (and my friends) so it can recommend somewhat related events to me without any effort on my part. There's at least some value there.

Very cool to see companies mapped out.

Slight nitpick - I really wish click to drag panning and mousewheel/pinch zooming was supported on the map. Navigating the map was a bit of a chore - mostly for smaller geographically sized countries.

Nice, that's a new one. As an alternative, there are a number of Chrome add-ons that add tasks to your new tab page. That one works well for me as a good reminder before I steer off course.

Actually, we are in the works of releasing a Slack connector. Star a message or DM in Slack and see it as a task in Taco. Taco only asks for and obtains access to your starred messages (on https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-scopes, "stars:list" and "stars:remove"), not all archives. Shoot us an email at support@tacoapp.com if you'd like to help us test it out!

We'll gladly consider adding Redbooth. Shoot us an email at support@tacoapp.com. We'd love to hear how you are using it.

Great to hear, I actually use Taco as a lightweight JIRA UI myself (along with GitHub Issues, a few Wunderlist lists, and starred GMail emails).

Response on pricing above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11565896

Taco is free for now, but we expect and hope to charge $5-$10/month at some point - cheap enough be a fantastic value for anyone who uses it even occasionally, but also not a free service that you rightly don't want. We're still figuring out when we should flip the switch but in the meantime, you are right, we need to do a better job of explaining possible future pricing.

This is great, thanks for the link!

You're absolutely right. Right now, there is none, which sucks. As Aral Balkan says well and as I'm sure you know, free is a lie [1]. People should pay for services that they use, and services which get used should be paid. We'll get there. But to answer questions about pricing, it's free until we are comfortable enough to charge.

Great! Would love to hear what you think!

We actually ran into the exact same problem while juggling multiple projects and ended up creating Taco - https://tacoapp.com. Taco aggregates your Basecamp, Trello, Asana and 35+ other services into a single screen so you can prioritize your day across multiple services. Works especially well with a new tab Chrome extension.

Haven't found the best way to consolidate applications for real time services. Although, I've found that it hasn't been too difficult to get people to hop on the Slack train. I've been in the same problem with video chat - Google Hangouts, Facetime, GoToMeeting, Skype, etc. Would love to hear what other people use.

There is a screenshot shown in the linked previous article: http://www.donotlick.com/2014/11/17/redesign-of-reddits-logi...

Looks like they are using http://exposure.co

I think their video chat is or was recently in beta. I imagine their biggest upsell in their 'HipChat Plus' package is searchable history which is a pretty important feature.

This is actually the very reason behind a side project & successful Kickstarter I've been working on called Taco (http://tacoapp.com). Taco essentially aggregates all of my tasks across multiple task services (Asana, Basecamp, GitHub Issues, Trello, Starred GMail Emails, + ~40 others) and puts them on a single screen. This effectively allows me to prioritize across my entire life rather than within a single project. The added benefit is that it helps me stay focused throughout the day since I'm not switching between apps. At the end of each day, I just set aside the tasks I want to work on for the next day - very similar to what Jeff is suggesting here.

I was briefly thinking about this the other day and my quick fix was to de-emphasize the coupon/gift card fields by using progressive disclosure. Screenshot of mockup: http://d.pr/KxJe. Although this doesn't completely remove the fact that the site accepts coupons, it helps with the 'empty field' issue described in the original post. Thoughts on this? Anybody run across any other solutions?

Kudos for doing research before diving in. If it sounds like there is enough interest, one option could be to use a whitelabel daily deals service like Tippr.com. Although it is tempting to hack together a groupon-clone, in the end the software on the consumer end is generally the easy part when building a basic daily deal site. The time consuming part is everything that goes on behind the scenes. The support, writing, deal scheduling, deal sourcing, affiliate marketing, reporting tools, etc. This stuff often gets overlooked when creating a deal site. Tippr can handle as much of this overhead as you need which allows you to focus on marketing and helping source deals for your niche. If you are curious how the end white-label product looks, we've recently launched a white-label with BusinessInsider that they call Pipeline Deals (http://pipeline.businessinsider.com). This site runs similar types of deals - except targeted for business folk instead of hackers.

Disclosure: I'm a designer at Tippr. If you want to learn more, I can get you in touch with one of the business people.

Why unfortunate?

It would be nice to see how much 1 credit costs before having to sign up. For example, over at PeepCode (http://peepcode.com/) I can immediately see how much a screencast costs without having to click around. Good luck with your startup.
